2. cutegrl289 wrote: I am frustrated with the person/people out there in TD world who just think it's funny to rate poorly on a picture for no reason
3. cutegrl289 wrote: I don't care if you don't give me a 5 and think it's the most fabulous drawing you've ever seen in your entire life
4. cutegrl289 wrote: I don't care about getting in the top 5 for the month
5. cutegrl289 wrote: But when I take a substantial amount of time to work on a drawing and it is fairly decently done, I would appreciate positive ratings
6. cutegrl289 wrote: There is no point other than meanness for someone to rate a picture a 1 or 2... why not refrain from rating all together?
7. cutegrl289 wrote: Or if you really think it's that bad, rate it as such but give your reasoning in the comments
8. cutegrl289 wrote: Don't just rate anonymously without giving your thoughts on how it could be better
9. cutegrl289 wrote: I would rather hear negative feedback and constructive criticism on one of my works
10. cutegrl289 wrote: ...if you don't think it's good. If you like it, then say so and rate accordingly.
11. cutegrl289 wrote: Don't just be spiteful and rate good (even great) pictures poorly without giving your reason
12. cutegrl289 wrote: This goes for all the pictures here on TD, not just mine
13. cutegrl289 wrote: Ok, I think I'm done now. Just had to get that out.
14. Tim42 wrote: Amen, an incredible amount of time and thought and inspiration goes into a lot of pictures on this board. Some pics are cute and simple, some fine art, some cartoonish, but most have some merrit.
15. Tim42 wrote: especialy to the artist. who may be doing there best, or atempting something you may not get.
16. Tim42 wrote: If a pic made you stop and look, or think, or feel something, if it gave you a chuckel, well then it's worth rating.
17. Tim42 wrote: and if it did any of that it's probably worth more then some of you haters gave it. ( I'm not talkin to everyone here)
18. Tim42 wrote: Did you know you can change your vote on a picture you had voted on, if you re-think it?
19. cutegrl289 wrote: Thank you, Tim42.
20. lynnspotter wrote: well said & Tim thanks, ya learn something new everyday!
21. likemee wrote: i have also felt the same aggrevencies. my sentiments exactly. well said!
22. ThinkDraw wrote: Just to clear something up. I am afraid that it is only possible to change the rating given on your own picture.
23. matthew wrote: Your vent is crooked... Worst pic I have ever seen... How can you ever face your art fans again... =)... I think rasselbear... ummm... I mean the 1 vote bandit is here to stay... and you will have to wait till Xmas for your gift...
24. matthew wrote: How do you change your vote? I gave this a 4 and ment to give it a 1... =) Just kidding Cutie
25. lynnspotter wrote: & here I gave you a ***** cuz I thought the vent was so clever!!!!
26. cutegrl289 wrote: I'll end up deleting this one eventually... I just created it to get some stuff out there

28. palmasbob wrote: I just expect it anymore. It seems to me the 1 vote phantom only strikes on pictures that have taken the most time or the more complicated ones.
29. Tim42 wrote: Don't delete this. it's kinda interesting, and who knows it may become one of the highest rated pics.
30. puzzler wrote: Maybe the answer is to have a vote if you like the pic and do away with the 1,2,3,4,5 choices. That way a vote would always be a positive thing.
31. autumn wrote: great idea puzzler!
32. marg wrote: yep.. that's what I thought too (forum pic, ages ago ?).. but even in the current status quo, anyone who votes a 1, still adds to the 'most rated' category
33. marg wrote: .. but it used to get me really down, when my overall rating dropped dramatically in one fell swoop !.. now, I don't care, just look at the most ratings pics to see the really good ones (alas, not mine yet !)
34. marg wrote: BTW.. how about trying this vent as a harp ??
35. cutegrl289 wrote: good idea, marg. i don't really let it get me down, it's just frustrating.
36. Qsilv wrote: ThinkDraw's turned out to be a remarkable place to play, create, experiment, communicate! Ratings add interest but are sooo not central to the fun. This clever one wins on all counts!

40. Login wrote: Please don't delete the vent. It has cleared the air! True, the ratings can be skewed by one individual and puzzler's idea is a good way of getting around that, but nancylee is right ... the comments are the real ratings. Surely, with so many drawings to
